Lyuban district revives the old-fashioned tradition of bast shoe making

Lyuban district revives bast shoe making. The House of Culture of the village Kommuna hosts an amateur club "Shovels." Its head Vasily Yaskevich makes traditional shoes and teaches it to the locals. Girls are also welcomed, but the craft requires physical strength and, as a rule, leads to damaged hands. Bast shoe making begins with vine harvesting lessons.
